Federal bureaucrats are "cool cats": They even listen to good music

From Eric Dondero:

There's a new website that has been launched to lift the spirits of Federal bureaucrats in these days of Tea Party rebellion. It's called GovLoop. (No link cause we don't encourage bureacracy here at LR.) It serves as a social networking site for Inside the Beltway hipsters. A photo at the site has white-shirted guys, and frompy looking gals holding up signs saying "Government doesn't Suck," and the emphathy-inducing "What if Governent was one of us."

There's also a march planned for Washington D.C. to coincide with ultra-leftist Jon Stewart's "Restore Sanity" rally this weekend.

The site and march are the brainchild of Jon Ressler, a Fed bureaucrat himself, who's on a mission to change the image of Red Tapers.

From WaPo, "Government doesn't suck march planned" Oct. 29:

"It's time to turn the tables and remind the world that government employees just happen to be people -- people that don't suck," Ressler said in a message sent to The Federal Eye on Sunday announcing the march. Government workers "are a lot of cool cats" who work hard, listen to good music and watch Stewart's "The Daily Show,"

Editor's comment - there's a longstanding rule about coolness dating way back to the doobie smokin', bongo pounding, J.D. Salinger reading, 1940s and 50s: If you have to say you're cool, you're probably not.
